Alicia Keys - Holy War
총14회의 그래미 수상에 빛나는 소울 디바 '앨리샤 키스'! 4년만에 선보일 여섯 번째 정규 앨범 수록 싱글 [Holy War] 어쿠스틱 기타 사운드와 한층 더 깊어진 그녀의 소울적 감각과 보컬이 돋보이는 R&B 신곡!. 어떠한 악기보다도 돋보이는 그녀의 목소리는 가장 심플한 악기 배치만으로 전반적인 곡을 이끌어간다. 이번 앨범을 통해 '노메이크업' 으로, 있는 그대로의 모습을 선보이고 있는 그녀는, 지금껏 느끼지 못했던 가장 강하고, 가장 영향력 있으며, 가장 자유롭고, 가장 솔직한 아름다움을 표현해내고 있다.
If war is holy and sex is obscene
Then we got it twisted
in this lucid dream
Baptized in boundaries
schooled in sin
Divided by difference
sexuality and skin
So we can hate each other
and fear each other
We can build these walls
between each other
Baby blow by blow
and brick by brick
Keep yourself locked in
yourself locked in
We can hate each other
and fear each other
We can build these walls
between each other
Baby blow by blow
and brick by brick
Keep yourself locked in
yourself locked
Maybe we should love somebody
Maybe we could care a little more
Maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing
the bombs of holy war
What if sex was holy
and war was obscene
And it wasn't twisted
what a wonderful dream
Living for love unafraid of the end
Forgiveness is the only
real revenge
So we can heal each other
and fill each other
We can break these walls
between each other
Baby blow by blow
and brick by brick
Keep yourself open yourself open
We can heal each other
and fill each other
We can break these walls
between each other
Baby blow by blow
and brick by brick
Keep yourself open you open
Maybe we should love somebody
Maybe we could care a little more
Maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing
the bombs of holy war
What if love was holy
and hate obscene
We should give life to
this beautiful dream
Cause peace and love ain't so far
If we nurse our wounds
before they scar
Nurse our wounds before they scar
